Project Two

This project isn't completely finished. They are my "Travel Slippers" . I have invisioned a bag that they will go in when I visit friends. The special part of these slippers is the purple yarn. It was a gift to me from my Sweet Betsy May. I've had the yarn for months, waiting till I had just the right project. It's alpaca and not durable for slippers so I combined it with a soft DK CashSoft gray yarn. The combination feels great on the feet. The pattern is from 101 Designer One-Skein Wonders(so is the yellow jumper). I like the book but I do have to use other books to help me thru the projects because the instuctions do not hold your hand. I love this book for basic instructions, hand knits for the home. Todays chore is organizing the sewing room and hopefully I can make the bag tomorrow.

I've added another sewing link I like. She has free patterns on her site!

Hope you are not bored with my "project" posts, I'm a little nervous about posting them......

I loke your projects and I loved the feeling of those slippers too... Thanks again for hosting us. We all had such a great time at the farm. Jasper still tells the story of the broken egg, and soemthing about Felix that I can't quite understand... and the clang clang of the wheels of the train. Love - A.

WC FIELDS

We are Keith & Megan - "Farmers".In 2006 we left the big city of Seattle and Biotech for a small Hay Farm in Ardenvoir, WA. We grow hay, vegetables, fruit and raise heritage chickens, turkeys, goats and one duck named "Ducky". Roaming the fields you may see our two dogs, three house cats and six barn cats.We knew nothing about farming then and sometimes it feels like we still know nothing, but we are having fun!
